Fonseca Guimaraens Vintage Port 2015

- Opaque, almost black, purple color with a very narrow purple halo. Classic nose, with an intense, almost intoxicating aroma of wild berries. The fruitiness is powerful, yet very fine and complex. Dense aromas of blackberry and cassis are the base notes for the mentholated and balsamic fragrances of aromatic herbs and the resinous character of rockrose. Discreet notes of exotic wood, licorice, and black pepper add an additional dimension of complexity. The palate is built around a dense core of black fruit, and the tannins, with their dense and closed structure, provide both structure and volume. Aromas of raspberry and plum give freshness and lightness to the long and exuberant finish.
